Years old

"White sugar cold cake, sweet potato crisps, coconut juice sago dew, candied crabapple... that's about the same, and then I'll buy a bunch of flowers." Qi Songyan stood at the corner of the street and turned over the handles of a pile of plastic bags to confirm that the varieties were complete. , Turn into the flower shop I often go to.

"Sister An, do you have any white lilies today? Wrap thirty for me."

The proprietress in a long skirt came out with the flower bucket in her arms, saw that he was carrying a bag full of pockets, turned around and handed him a paper bag. "The left is the same, the right is the same, and don't need a bigger bag."

"Just thinking about buying everything, I forgot about it, thank you, Sister An."

An Jie put down the vase, picked out a handful of lily lilies and placed them on the sponge pad of the operating table, and chatted with him while disposing of the excess leaves in the lower half of the rhizome: "Look at this battle, are you making Qin Di angry again? "

Qi Songyan picked up a high stool, sat in front of the operating table, and drooped his eyebrows unabashedly: "I was angry yesterday, and I bought two ice creams in the middle of the night, and I feel better after eating. I woke up today and saw how many times I In a blink of an eye, I became angry again, so I went to the market urgently after work."

An Jie smiled until the corners of her eyes became wrinkled, and poured him a cup of roselle tea with one hand.

She has just opened this store for half a year, and the rent in Beijing is ridiculously expensive, so after several struggles, she finally chose a corner on the west side of the community. Although it is not next to the main road, it happens to be a place where you will pass by when you take a shortcut to the subway station. Doing business in a few nearby communities is just so-so.

Qi Songyan was the last customer on the first day of opening. Seeing her dragging the opening flower baskets to the door by herself, he caught up with her and helped her move them in.She poured the warm-hearted and handsome young man a cup of homemade fruit tea, but he asked her if the tea could be sold after asking for a bunch of eustoma.

Of course tea was not for sale, but An Jie gave him a small pot in a glass bottle as a thank you.Qi Songyan was very happy, and thanked repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, my family lives in this community, I will clean the pot and send it here after drinking tomorrow."

The next night, he really came, put down the teapot, walked around the big market two streets away, bought a box of glutinous rice with candied dates and two fried twists, and returned for another bunch of freesia.He was wearing a crisp white shirt with a suit jacket draped over his arm. The exposed wristwatch was not like the style that ordinary office workers would wear, and it was incompatible with the market snacks in his hand.An Jie couldn't help pointing and asking, "Are you buying it for your girlfriend?"

He was taken aback, looked down at the bag, and then revealed a dimple: "My wife said she wanted to eat."

"Are you married? You look very young."

"It's not young anymore, but it's really early."

Later, he would visit from time to time. When buying flowers, he would always choose some fresh and elegant ones with less bright colors, and he also learned the names of many flower species.Every time I come here, I always bring something to eat. Occasionally, there are expensive snacks from newly opened stores or fruits from imported supermarkets. It is not easy to buy now.

So much so that An Jie once thought that his wife was a spoiled pregnant woman with good taste but tricky taste, until one day Qin Di walked in with his arm, saw the flower wall she specially designed, and immediately rushed towards her in disbelief. , raised her extremely beautiful face, almost making An Jie think it was some star fresh meat.

"Hi lady boss, can I take a picture?" He turned his head, blinking his bright black eyes.An Jie could tell that he was about the same age as Qi Songyan, but standing under the flower wall, he looked back like a 17-year-old boy, bright and clear, jumping with joy that didn't suit his age.How could it be possible to refuse, An Jie smiled and signaled that he could do whatever he wanted.

"Qi Miao, do this." He made a big frame to Qi Songyan, and then made a small circle at the lower left corner of the frame.

An Jie looked dazed, but Qi Songyan immediately answered: "Got it." He stepped forward to flick his bangs, took a few steps back, and pressed the shutter of the phone continuously and decisively.After filming Qin Di, he didn't bother to inspect it at all, and started walking around the shop.An Jie was still curious, so she went up to take a look.The entire flower wall was fully framed, and Qin Di's gentle profile appeared in the lower left corner. The sunset just came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the back of his neck and casting a handsome silhouette on the flower wall.

Just using a mobile phone to simply press the button is actually more warm than professional equipment. For a while, An Jie didn't know whether it was her beautiful flower wall, Qi Songyan's superb photography skills, or just the beauty of this gluttonous wife and young pregnant woman. The boy will look so good in any shot.

"Qi Miao, do you usually buy flowers here?"

"That's right, I told you that the shop is beautiful, so I'm too lazy to wait for more than a month to come here."

"It's too far to go around, I'm sweating."

"Make it up, keep making it up. Go down the steps and carry it on your back, go up the steps and hug it, and you'll make my stomach scream all the way."

"Oh, is there anything else? Why can't I remember..."

Qi Songyan followed him every step of the way, Anjie deliberately stood a little farther away, but the store was only so big, and the sweet and greasy conversation between the two kept drifting towards her gently.An Jie doesn't know exactly how the marriage ended, but the diverse forms of love have gradually been accepted by the public over the years, but the two of them don't look like people in a married relationship at all, but rather like a pair of high school students in love Little lovers, the kind who secretly kiss in the corner of the teaching building.

Qin Di didn't say anything, and Qi Songyan and An Jie didn't bother to ask. He looked at one by one, but never touched them very politely.An Jie received too many guests who poked and bumped everywhere as soon as they came in, so she couldn't help adding another layer of goodwill in her heart.

"Qi Miao, I want to buy pink ones today."

"Don't be so white?"

"I will develop some new business areas for you. I feel that you have been a little desperate recently."

"Hahaha, are you so considerate, pick whatever you want, choose whatever you want." Qi Songyan was happy, and yelled out the momentum of a two-dollar store.Qin Di turned around and stopped next to a clump of pink Astilbes that An Jie had just unpacked.

"Ma'am, what kind of flower is this?"

An Jie walked over, picked a branch and held it in front of his eyes: "Astilbe, the Dutch variety that just arrived today, is usually used to match Cymbidium."

"Then trouble me with a few white Cymbidiums." He glanced at Qi Songyan who was squatting aside looking at the potted plants, and whispered to An Jie: "Just a thin bunch, imported flowers are a bit expensive."

Usually, when Qi Songyan came here, he would always talk about how to look good and how to pack it. He never asked the price, and he was determined not to leave a receipt. An Jie felt that his wife was cute, so she nodded and made an OK gesture.

"Qi Miao, did your assistant change the water for Doudou and the bag?" Qin Di turned around and squatted next to Qi Songyan, squeezing him with his shoulders.

Qi Songyan was shaken by his squeeze, and leaned against him like a boneless body: "I changed it, once every three days, with sun-dried water. I still use her, I changed it myself, last time she handed it The trembling almost got Doudou flushed down the drain, it was too dangerous."

"I'm thinking of buying them a new jar, they always feel like they've grown up a bit."

"The growth is also growing, but very slowly. The size is just right now. If it is too big, what if they sink to the bottom and are not head-to-head?"

Qin Di leaned back in surprise: "It makes sense!" Qi Songyan raised his eyebrows confidently.

Maybe a man is a teenager until he dies.An Jie observed the two of them while packing the flowers, and suddenly envied that there was someone beside him who could be each other's children.No matter how independent they are outside, as long as they are close together, they can always be naive and careless without worrying about losing the so-called mature charm.Living is already tiring, why should I demand that I always look like a qualified adult.

After the flowers were wrapped, she secretly added two branches of Astilbe as a gift. The hazy and elegant flower spikes were just like the gradually changing clouds outside the window.Qi Songyan handed over the payment code, saw Qin Di holding the bouquet in his hand so much that he liked it, and asked him: "Why are you so thin?" An Jie wanted to help explain, but Qin Di answered: "This kind of flower needs a lot of money. Jianfeng is pretty, and it fits right into the thin tall bottle at home. If you make a super-large bunch, it will look like a feather duster."

Qi Songyan looked at An Jie suspiciously, An Jie smiled: "Yes, this kind is more suitable for a few vases."

"Okay, I don't understand either. I'm mainly responsible for providing funds." After Qi Songyan finished speaking, he helped Qin Di's waist and planned to go out.

Qin Di suddenly winked at him crazily, Qi Songyan reacted and opened his mouth, turned around and said to An Jie with a little embarrassment: "Sister An, that, the fruit tea I gave you once before, it's delicious, I want to ask about the recipe, I don't know if it's convenient?"

Anjie learned the recipe by the way when she was taking flower art class. Originally, she planned to open a flower hall for afternoon tea, but the rented shop did not have a kitchen, so she provided all kinds of flower tea and snacks for herself.Qin Di hugged Hua with an innocent face, trying to pretend that she wasn't greedy and that everything had nothing to do with her, while Qi Songyan was full of sincerity behind his back.An Jie drew a sticky note, "The process is relatively simple. The main thing is to buy the right brands of syrup and honey. I will write to you. If there are no supermarkets, you can buy them online. If you like sweet, you can reduce the amount of sour fruits. Here. "

An Jie handed over the sticky note, and Qin Di peeked over with sparkling eyes, like a kid who was rewarded with candy, waited for Qi Songyan to walk over and couldn't wait to take the sticky note in his hand, and his shaggy hair rubbed against the palm of Qi Songyan's hand Down, bent his eyes and smiled.

On that day, An Jie seemed to have suddenly touched the shape of love after many years, and got a ray of warmth and beauty from a pair of unconventional lovers.As for later finding out that Qin Di’s name is Qin Di, she is not just a pretty little gentleman who is greedy and coquettish, but also a cultural brand manager of a certain museum, and Qi Songyan has been a bank account manager for two years, and the amount of money he contacts every day can only be reduced to numbers. However, I still buy two kinds of snacks when my wife is happy, and four kinds when my wife is unhappy, and buy a larger bunch of flowers, etc. These are all later.
